andrew natsios, thank you for talking with us. compared to other dals stirs you've seen, what is the challenge, how would you describe the challenge presented by what's happened in the philippine. >> there are two things here. one it's the worst typhoon in history so the damage is more severe. the second thing we're facing is the fact this is the fourth typhoon that's hit the philippines this year. then they had an earthquake a few weeks ago. this is not the first disaster but the fifth disaster in one year. the third problem is there's so much debris that it's difficult for trucks to get through and aircraft to get through. the u.s. office of foreign disaster assistance and usaid sent a team in before the typhoon struck so they would be there as soon as the typhoon was over. and they started assessments within one hour after the storm subsided. paycon, u.s. pacific command is working with usaid to send in logistical support and u.s. aid and paycon, worked together and they did their job and there was no political interference. so
